2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Consumer states several issues with vehicle and request information on recalls, service bulletins, warranties or lemon law the consumer stated the cruise control down shifted to 2nd while driving at highway speeds and on hills, the starter would hang, there was a noise coming from the ac compressor. The transmission was replaced. However, it continued to hesitate after the vehicle was started, as well as a vibration. There was a clicking noise coming from the differential, the idle needle would rise, while at a stop, the battery drained, the engine stalled, the dash was cracked, there was a problem with the suspension, the tire pressure monitoring system was repaired three times, the passenger side mirror was inoperable, the weather strip had come off the vehicle and there was a clicking noise coming from the u-joint.
Less than two weeks after I purchased the truck the battery I went to start the truck and the batter was dead. I got a jump for but a few days later, the same thing happened. I took my truck to the dealer and they replaced it however less than two months later, I had trouble starting it again; this time the car would take a few seconds to turn over when I turned the ignition and sometimes I would have to turn the key back and then try again before it started. I took my truck back in to the dealer and this time they replaced the starter. Over the last year, the ignition still does the same thing and if I sit and listen to the radio with the car off, the battery will die requiring a jump start. The battery went dead again about two weeks ago and while waiting for someone to give me a jump I tried the ignition again and this time the car started. Two days ago, I started my truck and all of the instruments were dead. I checked the fuses and they were fine so I started researching online to discover many more complaints of the same nature detailing electrical problems with the battery, starter and instrument panel. Two days after the instruments went out, again the truck wouldn't start when sitting with my truck off and my cell phone plugged into the charger. I waited 20 minutes and turned the ignition and after it clicked a few times, the car started and the instruments came back on. I'm tired of the dealer telling me they don't know what the problem could be when it's clearly an electrical defect and others are and have been having the same problem with 2007 Tahoe's. This needs to be remedied ASAP!.
2007 chevy Tahoe ltz has multiple electrical issues. Last year, I started noticing issues in may. Car exhibited random starting failures (no starter turning - like dead battery) which will resolve and begin functioning on its own after time passed. Battery was replaced by dealer with no resolution. Major fluctuations and activation of the warning lights in the dash ( abs, suspension service, traction control, backup assistance, cruise control, check engine, all needle gauges fluctuate randomly, trip computer information deactivates randomly) noted during normal driving. Door locks also randomly lock while driving or idling. Windshield wipers periodically turn and washer fluid is expressed. The transmission shift roughly when these issues are being seen. Also, the air conditioner will cease cooling the air during these times but continue to run the blower fan ( just uncooled air). All these problems will come and go randomly. All these symptoms were reported and the car was taken to the dealer in summer 2009. Multiple cpu modules were replaced and the car seemed better. Now the issues are arising again and more frequently. The 2007 Tahoe ltz was taken to the dealer again yesterday. Gm personnel were very confrontational when discussion the issues of a design/production/manufacturing defect, yet the service manager could practically recite verbatim the issues I was having as I started to describe the initial problems. He admitted that this was very common , and he stated the bcm could be out. That along with several other modules were replaced already last year. I have heard and read numerous similar problems on this year Tahoe. Someone within the regulating agencies needs to step in and force a review. Gm already charged me $3000+ last year to "fix" this. Now, they are already balking at the idea that there is a gm manufacturing or quality issue causing all these frequent issues. The consumer needs to be protected. . Soon.
The heater fan does not run when I automatically start the vehicle with my remote starter/keyfob. What good is it to start your vehicle to warm it up if the fan doesn't start up to defrost your windshield? the gm remote starter was installed and programmed by the dealer after purchase. When it was checked, the fan ran and then didn't . I got it to run only if I am 3 feet away and start the vehicle (or sitting in it) too funny, I guess at that point I may as well use the key!@.
